I don't write, I paint myself blind with words...diogenes herded...ignorance...gilded cages...filling up on beauty unleashed...free will's maddening fractures...eyes that need to smell to see...

morseled
la mia anima lacerata scava per voi
perhaps the laughing
hyenas Rimbaud said
would come to tear the flesh
from my senses
did come and steal
from my dreams
what I can taste of you every night
what I can see of you held tight to my dark
what I can smell of you past my decay
what I hear of you when the wind rakes me undead
what I can feel of you engraved
when I let go and know
everywhere you stabbed me
with the certainty of your love
that I cannot deny

Again, gorgeous title(s).
ReplyDeleteI love this poem. (Anything with hyenas is gonna hook me, you know.)
